The power supply includes a linear output stage within its PowerFlex regulator. This gives it a very low output noise of less than 3 mV RMS and a transient recovery time typically ten times better than conventional switch-mode units.
The unit is fully digitally controlled using instrumentation-quality 16 bit DACs. Local setting is by either numeric keypad or spin wheel, and remote control interfaces of analogue, RS-232 and USB are included as standard, with LAN (Ethernet) as an option.
Unlike most higher power laboratory PSUs, the QPX1200 is equally suited to bench or rack-mount applications. Output and sense terminals are provided on both the front and rear panels. The case has integral tilt feet, and a 3U rack mount is available as an option.
